Example: I am a high school student. I study at one of the top-ranked high schools in Hanoi, which I’m proud of because it has strong academic results and supportive teachers.

× I am a high school student. Umm, I can proudly saying that.
✓ I am a high school student. Umm, I can proudly say that.
'Can' should be followed by the base form of the verb, not the -ing form. Use 'can say' not 'can saying'. Suggestion: After modal verbs (can, could, will, etc.) always use the base verb form.
× I can proudly say that I am a student in the top ranked high school in Hanoi.
✓ I can proudly say that I am a student at a top-ranked high school in Hanoi.
Use 'at' or 'in' with institutions; 'a' is required because 'top-ranked high school' is a non-specific countable noun. Hyphenate 'top-ranked' when used as a compound adjective. Suggestion: Use 'at a top-ranked high school' for natural phrasing.
× I study at like we don't know That high school, a top ranked high school in Vietnam, and the school is very good.
✓ I study at a well-known high school, a top-ranked high school in Vietnam, and the school is very good.
Replace filler 'like we don't know That' with 'a well-known' for clarity. Use the indefinite article 'a' before 'well-known high school' because it is not being uniquely identified. Hyphenate 'top-ranked'. Suggestion: Avoid fillers and use concise descriptions.
× The teacher is good too.
✓ The teachers are good too.
If referring to the staff generally, use plural 'teachers are'. If referring to a single teacher, keep singular. Context implies multiple teachers, so plural subject and verb should agree. Suggestion: Match singular/plural based on meaning.
× Yes, this is a very good place to study. It's so me the most.
✓ Yes, this is a very good place to study. It suits me the most.
'It's so me the most' is ungrammatical. Use 'It suits me the most' to express preference. 'Suits' is the correct verb for fitting someone's needs. Suggestion: Use common idiomatic expressions like 'suits me' instead of literal translations.
× I have my best friend there, my teachers there and I got a lot lesson since I was a student.
✓ I have my best friend there, my teachers there, and I have had a lot of lessons since I was a student.
Use present perfect 'have had' (or 'have received') to indicate experience continuing up to now. 'A lot lesson' needs plural 'lessons' and the correct verb form. Suggestion: Use 'have had a lot of lessons' or 'have learned a lot' for clarity.
× I don't think so, because there's a good deal that my school are now being built.
✓ I don't think so, because a lot of my school is being rebuilt now.
'There's a good deal that' is awkward; use 'a lot of' or 'much of'. 'School' as a building is singular so 'is being rebuilt' is correct rather than 'are now being built'. Use passive 'is being rebuilt' for ongoing construction. Suggestion: Simplify to 'a lot of my school is being rebuilt'.
× Yes, it's rebuilt. It's the true rebuilt.
✓ Yes, it's being rebuilt. It's a real reconstruction.
Say 'it's being rebuilt' for ongoing action. 'The true rebuilt' is incorrect English; use 'a real reconstruction' or 'a real rebuild'. Suggestion: Use natural noun forms: 'a real rebuild' or 'a real reconstruction'.
× And till next January, we will move to our new high school.
✓ By next January, we will move to our new high school.
Use 'by next January' to indicate completion at or before that time. 'Till next January' usually indicates duration up to that date but is less natural here. 'We will move' is acceptable future; keep as is with corrected time expression. Suggestion: Use 'by next January' for clarity about the deadline.
× It's gonna be very modern.
✓ It's going to be very modern.
'Gonna' is informal spoken contraction; in formal or neutral writing use 'going to'. The grammar is otherwise correct. Suggestion: Use 'going to' in formal contexts.
× In the future, I want to be umm, a a student in an education high school, in an education university because they want to be a teacher, and then I will go abroad to pursue higher education.
✓ In the future, I want to be a student at a teacher-training high school, and then attend an education university because I want to be a teacher; after that I will go abroad to pursue higher education.
Remove duplicate 'a a'. 'Student in an education high school' is unnatural; use 'student at a teacher-training high school' or 'a teacher-training program'. 'They want to be a teacher' should be 'I want to be a teacher' to match the subject. Use parallel structure and clarify sequence. Suggestion: Use 'I want' consistently and choose correct nouns ('teacher-training', 'education university').
